Funded Activity Summary

In order to survive cells need to divide their genetic material (DNA) equally between two daughter cells. For correct cell division to occur DNA has to be correctly packaged into condensed and organised chromosomes. Improper packaging of genetic material can result in unregulated cells that may become cancerous or lead to other genetic diseases such as Down's Syndrome. Understanding the key players regulating this process is vital to allowing researchers to further work in these areas.
